I know. You were expecting a photo, right? Not so fast.
"Walk in the rain, jump in mud puddles, collect rocks, rainbows and
roses, smell flowers, blow bubbles, stop along the way, build
sandcastles, say hello to everyone, go barefoot, go on adventures, act
silly, fly kites, have a merry heart, talk with animals, sing
in the shower, read childrens' books, take bubble baths, get new
sneakers, hold hands and hug and kiss, dance, laugh and cry for the
health of it, wonder and wander around, feel happy and precious and
innocent, feel scared, feel sad, feel mad, give up worry and guilt and
shame, say yes, say no, say the magic words, ask lots of questions,
ride bicycles, draw and paint, see things differently, fall down and
get up again, look at the sky, watch the sun rise and sun set, watch
clouds and name their shapes, watch the moon and stars come out, trust
the universe, stay up late, climb trees, daydream, do nothing and do it
very well, learn new stuff, be excited about everything, be a clown,
enjoy having a body, listen to music, find out how things work, make up
new rules, tell stories, save the world, make friends with the other
kids on the block, and do anything else that brings more happiness,
celebration, health, love, joy, creativity, pleasure, abundance, grace,
self-esteem, courage, balance, spontaneity, passion, beauty, peace,
relaxation, communication and life energy to all living beings on this
planet." -Bruce Williamson
